Bathroom design is always great fun for me because I am constantly trying to create retreats where the client enjoys getting ready in a beautiful, serene and still functional environment. Lately, a few of my projects have had the free standing tubs and I must say that if I were to design a bathroom for myself right now I would lean towards this type of tub. They can be super sleek and just as easily look quite traditional with a footed base. The view is dramatic to walk into a bathroom and see the tub design. Obviously the newer designs are takes on the classic claw foot tubs, which I must say I have always loved in homes. I hear the plumbing is a booger to install, but thankfully I am able to leave that task to another professional!

Happy Monday!...

I am taken by the details. End of story. Be it the petal of a flower, the brick pattern at a church, the monogram on a bath towel, a sunrise or the stitch on clothing. Whatever it is I am a sucker for it. I have an immense respect for the people who create details, either solo or as a team. I believe anything that adds beauty to this world is a positive thing and that makes me happy. I am most amazed with the beauty of nature. I am ALWAYS in awe of the breathtaking beauty that surrounds me! Thank you God!

Happy Tuesday!...

I vividly remember really noticing wallpaper on the ceilings for the first time at the Hart's home when I was in college. The impact that the William Morris wallpaper on every wall in the Powder Bath was stunning. I have loved it and noticed it often ever since that particular epiphany. I have often offered it as a suggestions to various clients over the years, but I find that many are nervous to commit to it or hesitant to pay for something they may consider an unnecessary extra. The clients who have committed experience the whimsical pleasure of an extra detail that can really pack a punch! If you read this blog then you know I am a big wallpaper fan. Now you know I am a fan of applying it to the ceiling in some circumstances. Regardless, I believe the ceilings are very important parts of a whole room (obviously!) and stress that it is important to treat them as so. This could be with a particular paint, a treatment or as mentioned above, wallpaper!

Happy Thursday! Off to Dallas. Go Horns!...
